Located in the landmarked Woolworth building, The Wooly (billed as having been “not open since 2009”) — has long operated as a posh private lounge and event-space. The owners threw a few crumbs to the crowd in 2015 with The Wooly Daily (a casual grab-and-go café) before finally extending an olive branch to everyday people just this past week.

Aptly dubbed Wooly Public, the proletariat hang-out invites lingering, with board games built into the tables (such as chess, backgammon and scrabble), and a space furnished with stylistic interpretations of their house mascot, the mammoth; including cubist and impressionist works of art.

The tusked wonder is even fashioned into mugs cradling cocktails from Mayahuel and Death & Co.’s head bartender, Eryn Reece; sip “Wardays” from its belly (a gin, calvados and chartreuse concoction, inspired by a 1930’s-era tipple from London’s Savoy Hotel), or a modern invention like “Icelandic Pop,” made with vodka, aquavit and ginger.
